Hello, my name is Matti and I am 11 years old and I just wanted to know what my name really meant. That's how I found this web site, it's great. I am a girl and I was named after my mom's friend Mathew.

Actually, my name is Matti and I'm a girl. I get a lot of comments on it and - surprisingly - a few mispronunciations (/mɛti/). Since I'm in the US, few people know that it's a boy's name unless I tell them. Which I do voraciously since I think it's funny.
My mom still says that it's a girl's name. But I suspect she just doesn't want anyone to know that she gave me a Finnish boy's name.
